SubmitHub is the first and largest platform connecting artists with curators – from playlist editors and bloggers to YouTube channels, radio stations, and influencers. Launched in 2015 by Indie Shuffle founder Jason Grishkoff, SubmitHub was designed to streamline music submissions for artists looking to share their tracks with music tastemakers worldwide. The platform’s transparency and data-driven approach has made it a go-to for independent musicians, as well as PR companies, labels, and more, looking for a reliable, affordable way to connect with curators directly.

What sets SubmitHub apart is its data-focused submission process, which provides artists with valuable insights – from curator response times and listening duration to approval rates and playlist previews – so they can make informed decisions and fine-tune their promotion strategy. With response times capped at 72 hours, SubmitHub allows artists to quickly assess feedback and adjust as needed, making it especially useful for independent musicians managing their own promotions.

Beyond music submissions, SubmitHub offers a suite of helpful tools:

• Hot or Not: A feature to rate fellow artists’ songs in exchange for feedback on your own. It’s also a fun way to earn free Premium credits (one for every 20 reviews) while gaining unbiased opinions on one’s tracks.

• What’s my genre?: A free tool using AI developed by the University of Barcelona to analyze a track and suggest genres, helping an artist better understand their music and target the right curators.

• Playlist (and Artist) Checker: Analyzer of any Spotify playlist, including those not on SubmitHub. This tool offers insights into a playlist’s content, growth, and audience, and identifies suspicious activity (useful for playlists outside of SubmitHub, which aren’t vetted, as those on SubmitHub are). It’s also great for evaluating the health of your own artist profile.

• SubmitHub Links: A fast, customizable, Meta-ads-optimized landing page and link-in-bio creation tool, perfect for promoting one’s music or playlists. SubmitHub Links also includes an integrated SubmitHub Ads feature, letting you launch a Meta ad campaign on Facebook and Instagram without using Meta’s Business Manager – SubmitHub handling it all.

• SubmitHub Marketplace: A “Fiverr for musicians,” but thoroughly vetted. The Marketplace is where a musician can find quality, affordable help with album/EP reviews, audio engineering, press/marketing, and graphic design.
